Everywhere! - The Happiness Project by Gretchen RubinEthiopia - Cutting for Stone by Abraham VergheseDRC - Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad (don't worry, we didn't go to the DRC, but the borders of Uganda and Rwanda offer the same geographical feel)Rwanda - Bone Woman by Clea KoffMadagascar - Hot Ice by Nora RobertsMadagascar - The Life Adventures and Piracies of Captain Singleton by Daniel Defoe
Pakistan/Nepal - Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortensen & David Oliver RelinNepal - Into Thin Air by Jon KrakauerIndia - Behind the Beautiful Forever by Katherine BooIndia - Life of Pi by Yann MantelIndia (and Bali, which felt a bit like Borneo) - Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth GilbertBorneo - Shooting the Boh by Tracy JohnstonFrance - Secrets of Paris by Luanne RiceFrance - The Paris Wife by Paula McClainArgentina - Perla by Carolina de RobertisChile - Chile Death bySusan Wittig Albert (This book's description had too many references about chiles and chilis and chillis and I got confused...it sadly does not take place in Chile. But we did eat chili when we were chilly in Chile with too many chiles, so it kind of fit...)Chile - Easter Island by Jennifer VanderbesNicaragua - The Riverbones by Andrew Westoll (This actually takes place in Suriname; I chose it for the 'jungle feel' and realized that I knew nothing about Suriname and there's some terrible stuff going on there that we should be doing something about)
